In Australia they will call this Nutella City Rollergirls.
Don't you mean Vegemite?
No, because its not Jam as in the stuff you spread on toast. Each round in the game is called a Jam, and the girl that scores the points is called the JAMmer.
It's a joke, FallingRain. Lighten up :3
We thought to have a confirmed release date for January 10, 2011 in the US region, from another web site, but the release has now been delayed..
Thanks for the heads-up on the release date jhuhn. I'm looking forward to giving this game a try.
Edit: Yeah, I figured the game got delayed when it didn't show up that day. Hopefully, we won't have to wait too long for it's release.
This is out today. I'm very excited!
When can I buy this in the UK?
My sister actually does this in her spare time! She's a real Roller derby girl. That would be hillarious if one of the girls on this game looked like her.
Does it have Wifi? That might give it more reason to own.
Does anyone know when this is being released here in the UK? I am a derby girl and would love to try this!
@HellKatHarri Not sure yet but when we find out we'll announce it here
@James Newton Any news on the UK release date? There are almost 100 leagues in the UK alone and lots more in Europe!
@Robatron and any other Euro fans:
Frozen Codebase tells me they're waiting for their European ratings before they can submit the game to Nintendo, but they are still aiming to release the game in Europe later this year. We'll keep you posted
Did this ever get released in Europe?
Never mind, I just saw the release date!
